Must do if you love horses and nature. Most Awesome! - We had the most wonderful time. The horses were gentle and the tour guides were great. You don’t actually go to the ocean, but the view is incredible and all the beauty ofvthe land is breathtaking. We saw wild horses, cows and crazy black sheep and lots of beautiful landscape. It’s about an hr and 1/2 from Kona and the drive is very scenic inboth directions. If you love horses and feeling peaceful in nature, this is a must on your list of things to enjoy on the big island. wear sunscreen.

Great experience but check directions - Excellent riding experience with great views. Guides were excellent and horses as well. Directions are challenging. Go ~15 miles east of Waimea on Hwy 19 to about mile marker 45 and turn north into Honoka’a. Go into town to Route 240 and turn west. Then go to mile marker 7 for ranch entrance. Once you’re there, it’s an easy worthwhile trip.

Beautiful Ranch Ride with Amazing Ocean Views - Mica was a great guide as we rode through the ranch - he's very knowledgeable of the plant and animal life in the area. We rode Bucking Bronco and Malama and they were so well behaved and responsive to cues. We got to taste a bunch of tasty fresh fruit and take pictures along the ride. The only negative from the experience would be that the tour was advertised as "mountain to ocean" but it's really all mountain with ocean views. Still - everything was gorgeous.

Riding the trails - The trail was amazing, our tour guy Mika was very informative on all the surroundings we passed by. He knew and pointed out all the fruit trees I never heard of, like a strawberries guava and other fruits he let us taste them. The sites where so beautiful. Highly recommend this tour.

Don't bother - I found out after 30 minutes on the Trail that we were not going to the beach. The road has been closed for some time and they haven't been able to get to the beach. If I would have been told ahead of time, I would have canceled. I'm in Hawaii!! I want to see the beach!!!
